Simultaneously, the New York Post carried excerpts from the chat in its Page Six column, which in turn prompted the hosts of ABC’s The View to weigh in on the debate.

"The whole climate has changed—the idea that if you're NOT givin' it up, something's wrong with you," said Yvette (center). "Where it used to be that if you WERE givin' it up, something was wrong with you."

“And she blames Madonna for that, saying, ‘Women used to complain about being classified as either virgins or whores.’ And then, ‘along came Madonna—and now we’re all whores,” added Whoopi—who, incidentally, along with such A-listers as Candice Bergen, Lily Tomlin, Marlo Thomas and Lesley Stahl, is one of the Women on the Web, whose weekly show, The wOw Effect, is broadcast right here on BlogTalkRadio.

Then guest co-host Yvette Nicole Brown chimed in.

“Back in the day, there used to be a ‘town whore.’ And everybody knew that if they wanted something outside of marriage or whatever, they’d have to go there,” said the star of NBC’s Community.

“The idea now is that everybody’s supposed to give it up whenever they want to give it up. So I think we’ve lost the mystery, we’ve lost love, because everybody can get whatever they want when they want it.”

From there it was three minutes straight of discussion about good girls versus bad girls.
